[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Adam77Root:
The boot image is on a separate partition the device of which is '/dev/block/mmcblk0p9'. If you try, you see that you cannot change directory to that file, because it is not a folder, but a block device. It is like a link to the corresponding partition, like '/dev/sda', '/dev/sdb', etc. You have to mount these devices first. You have to use the 'mount' command. However, not all partitions are mountable. The only partitions being able for mount are those with a proper filesystem on them. There are partitions which are not formatted and filesystems are not created, these store data in a more generic form directly on the blocks.

You can find a list of our partitions here (Created by Epsy, thanks to him!).

The boot image partition for our device is '/dev/block/mmcblk0p9'. The update-binary writes the image directly to the flash memory. It's like you executed:

dd if=/path/to/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9

Regarding the extraction process: You can find detailed information of boot image structure here. After a successful low-level bootup process, the bootloader loads the boot image partition, loads the kernel, the ramdisk and the kernel command line into the memory, then passes memory address of the ramdisk and command line to the kernel's main method, thereby calling it and letting the execution begin.

You can see contents of a ramdisk here (Modified and uploaded by UnknownzD, thanks to him!). This is the ramdisk of the stock ICS rom, probably XXLQ7. The main directories are created upon init process as you can see in 'init.rc'. Sometimes the folders are already created (e.g. in ardatdat's kernel).

You cannot use '/dev/block/mmcblk0p2' instead of '/system', because you want to extract more files into it's filesystem. When you do the same with boot.img, it works because you extract it to the flash memory directly then.

'mmcblk0p5', 'mmcblk0p7', 'mmcblk0p8', 'mmcblk0p9' and 'mmcblk0p10' cannot be mounted in our case and thus cannot be linked to a specific directory. They don't have a filesystem on them.

Very lucid explanation. I was waiting for this. It's really surprising that despite the popularity of Android, there's dearth of such Android specific documentation. There's a lot of linux documentation but there's no straight Android analogy present in any of the material I found online. Thanx Adam!:good:

Nope, they aren't in most cases. Similar devices may have the same though.

I have i777, and have third party battery, it works perfect on ics. I've bought new phone and want to use old pal as legacy device.

Are there any kernels for 2.3 that support third party batteries?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] IllusiaX:
It's probably a silly question but I don't know how to check. I bought an HTC One X off ebay, it' s brand new and unlocked (but I can tell it used to be on orange.). I'm currently on O2 but thinking about switching so I can get 4G but I won't bother if my phone can't get it. So how do I know if it can use the 4G network?

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Assume you are talking LTE (although the official definition of "4G" was revised to include evolved forms of HSPA).

For LTE compatibility, you have to find the specs for the exact model of One X you have (which may get confusing) and find out what band/frequency of LTE the phone is compatible with. Don't confuse this with the GSM or HSPA bands, you've got to look for the LTE band.

Then you need to find the LTE band/frequency used by your carrier. If the LTE frequencies are the same (phone is compatible with your carrier's LTE network) and the phone is unlocked, it should work.

Keep in mind that frequency/band support is most usually set in hardware. So the phone has to be equipped (in hardware) with the correct band. No amount of radio flashing will change the LTE band.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] IllusiaX:
Thanks for your help. So how do I find out the exact model of my phone?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
And therein lies the challenge. Matching your phone to a model number or accurate specs is not an easy thing. Telling us what carrier version or country would be a good start.

Also, be sure to hit the "thanks" button for any of my posts that you find helpful.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] IllusiaX:
Thanks! I'm on O2 pay as you go but I bought the phone unlocked from eBay, it was previously on the orange network. I'm in the UK and I'm pretty sure the phone is a UK model.

I can't find the thanks button on this app but ill be sure to press it when I check in on my laptop:)

When i connect to the system on window 7, it shows omap under unknown driver and withing 2secs disappears again. using one of the methods mentioned here, i was able to install the omap driver but each time i connect the phone, it connects and then disconnect instantly. When i tried it on window xp, i got the same error. I can boot into recovery. The phone is not switching ON atall for me to even consider goin to recovery. Sometimes when am on window xp and i press the recovery button with the battery in (vol- plus Power +3d button) it connects and then instantly disconnects again. Please help with a step by step process as am stumped. Am sure i should be able to get it up. Any help will be greatly appreciated

Still Stump

I have tried the method you explained step by step bt i got stuckedd on step 13

"Step 13. Run Steps 3-9 again and you will see your phone being flashed from LG FlashTool.

It will be stopped at 26-30% because phone will turn off on its own BUT the next time you try to enter NORMAL DOWNLOAD MODE it will be available again."

When i do what step 12 says, instead of my LG flash tool flashin my fone, the screeen just stay stuck on the download mode with the korean message on it. Dont know how to move ahead. Thanks for your reply, please help me move past this level. In addition, instead of LGE mobile USB serial port, what i have is LGE CDMA USB serial port.
[LG Optimus 3D] drwale2000:
Am still stumped

Somebody pls help me, i am able to get into the download mode but cant get beyond that stage. I have tried LG flashtool several time to get it fixed bt LG Flashtool is discovering my phone. Even when i click start though its suppose to start automatically, it just doesnt do anything. Or could it be because under my device manager i have LGE CDMA USB serial port instead of LGE mobile USD serial port ? because its my LGE CDMA USB serial port that i turned its port to 41

6-On the computer press start and search device manager

8-Now you are done to do the procedure,so open LG FlashTool as administrator

9-Will appear a window with the files to put in,select BOOT21E.CP and BOOT21.AP,and select USB Mode

10-Now press ok and connect the phone to your pc pressing Volume UP

11-Go on the icon of ports(looks like a usb port) and select only port 1

12-Now press Start(the yellow arrow)

13-Now disconnect your phone and connect it,without pressing any button

14-The downgrade procedure will start automatically,so keep calm and...Enjoy!:)

progress but not complete

Thanks a bunch, i have finally gotten a lil hang of it. The problem now is each time i flash with LG flash tool, once it gets to 82%, the part where the flashtool reads target resetting , my fone disconnects and the LG flashtool brings out this error error_wm_progress_msg and some others. I have tried this 3times now and the error remains the same. When i power the phone, it goes in to clockwod mode and when i try to mount usb, it doesnt do. Even when i try to restore the backup i have, it says md5 error. Waiting for your reply
[LG Optimus 3D] bensmokie:
That s mean your phone is successfully done flashing , with me it never come to 100% it always on 82% its finish, just reboot your phone and wait for it to start on , and you are good to go, now go to recovery and format, or wipe cache and data and reboot at first time it says that you don't have enough memory left just go to privacy and reset the phone and format everything . and i think everything will be good after that. good luck.

[LG Optimus 3D] bensmokie:
The truth is your phone can not be break just with flashing, it will brick though, unless your hardware is damaged, then you are think to buy new phone.

well about the JellyBam, while you are on GB now, root your phone and install Rom manager flash Bernie's file and you're out of the rebooting. the Barnie's files is the key of JellyBam or other CM10 to work. good luck.

While I haven't seen a document on how to do it the Boost process should work. You'll need the carrier information - and possibly a donor phone if carrier doesn't give that info -to fill in any blanks for things such as AA/HAA passwords. Your carrier should be able to confirm if they can support it or not. It's the same way that Ting is allowing BYOD here in the US.
